DEVIN BOOKER! #BringHimHome
Great listā¦I keep thinking Lāadorable is going to make an appearanceā¦.
MarShon Brooks (Guangdong Southern Tigers), Lester Hudson and Manny Harris (Shandong Heroes), O.J. Mayo (Liaoning Flying Leopards), and Darius Adams and Dakari Johnson (Qingdao Eagles) remain alive in the postseason, but they will be available whenever their season concludes.
Unless they want to carry four centers like the Pistons.
If you are very bored (like me), the Lakers are playing on ESPN2 with X and Chaundee Brown on the roster.

How did Chaundee look tonight? I saw he was playing at the end of the game which is always good
I assume you are finalizing your full report? Letās hear some shooting numbers for both of those fellas.
I DVRd it. Fast forwarding to all the X and Chaundee parts.
First Quarter: They both look good. X finding open guys, including Chaundee in transition (missed a hook though). Chaundee hit 1-2 threes.
Second Quarter: Chaundee drawing fouls left and right. Did give up a three to Micah potter.
Awesome. The Wagners are teaming up!
So by my estimation the Magic have 14 guys on their roster, Mo would make 15 which is the limit if he has a guaranteed contract. Teams can have 20 guys in the offseason but have to get back down to 15 (+two 2 ways) by seasonās beginning
Thatās great for Mo and Franz. That gives Franz someone to live with, train with and help transition into being a pro. Pretty awesome all around. Wise investment from Orlando, even if Mo doesnāt play any minutes.
I canāt even begin to describe how happy it makes me for the Wagner brothers to be playing on the same team. And equally happy that Moe gets a 2 year (presumably) guaranteed deal. I was worried he was becoming a fringe player. I think heās been productive when given minutes and hopefully playing with Franz will energize him
How could anyone not want to play for this man?
Last year the Magic used Mo mostly as a 4 (which makes a degree of sense offensively and probably raises as many questions as it answers defensively), but even though coaching turned over, I think the Lopez signing would suggest the intent here is to keep using him there.
The Lopez signing also implies there is either an injury issue or a complete loss of faith in either Bamba or Carter (my bet in this case would be Bamba, for either count.
Orlando = new favorite team
With Dallas a close second
Lakers summer league team third
Besides Mo and Franz at Orlando, thereās also Duncan down the road in Miami. I believe that Mo and Duncan were roommates for a year. Nice South Florida home base for all of them.
Hey! Sorry hadnāt seen this til just now. They both did some things pretty well. Chaundee looked comfortable and like he could play with any of the dudes on the court. Looked good in transition and played over 20 minutes. I think he had like 7 points but considering he only took 4 shots, thatās pretty solid. He could have done a bit better from the free throw line though. Zavier made some good passes but looked a little less comfortable to me and had a streak of turnovers in the 3rd quarter I believe. Zavier made both his free throws but didnāt shoot well otherwise. He did put up 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals which was good to see!
The games were super fun yesterday. Jordan Poole was on the bench for the Warriors but wasnāt playing. At one point, I was able to get his attention. I yelled, Yo JP! Go blue! And he looks up to the stands and kind of looks around, and I point at him and yell go blue again and he notices the michigan gear that I was wearing. He points back at me and then gives me some fist bumps.
